+<h2>FOSDEM talk</h2>
+<p>
+Andreas Tille had a <a
+href="http://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/201302_fosdem_distro/">talk
+at FOSDEM</a> which is also Video recorded. A quite similar but
+updated talk was held at <a
+href="http://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/20130812_blend">DebConf
+13</a> (see below).
+</p>
+
+
+<h2>Jabber interview by reporter from India</h2>
+<p>
+There was an interesting interview between Rajeev Nair and Andreas
+Tille at So, 17.02.2013 Rajeev Nair is Business head of an <a
+href="http://www.healthcafe.in">health care journal in India</a> held
+via jabber. Since this might serve as some nice FAQ about Debian Med
+here is a <a
+href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/community/interview/interview_r.nair-a.tille.log?view=markup">complete
+log of this interview</a> (permission to publish it was granted).
+</p>
+
+
+<h2>Article about Debian Med</h2>
+<p>
+As a consequence of the interview above the Debian Med team has
+assembled an article which was originally intended to be published in
+the Health Cafe journal but somehow this never happened. So we ended
+up with a nice article targeting at interested readers about Free
+Software in medicine with not necessarily informatics background.
+Since the article is considered to be of good quality and has consumed
+some time of several team members we are seeking for ideas for
+relevant places where to publish it. It is available as <a
+href="http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/debian-med-healthcafe.pdf">PDF</a>
+as well as in <a
+href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/community/papers/13_healthcafe/">SVN</a>.
+</p>
+
+
+<h2>Yearly sprint of Debian Med team</h2>
+<p>
+This year we had our third sprint of the Debian Med team and all
+participants consider it a great success again. The sprint was in end
+of February and the individual reports are linked from the <a
+href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed/Meeting/Kiel2013">according
+wiki page</a>. Since Andreas Tille was able to prove the nice effect
+of having face to face meetings in Debian teams in the team metrics
+graphs presented in his talks at DebConf (see below) we will keep on
+with this good tradition. The <a
+href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed/Meeting/Aberdeen2014">next
+sprint</a> is scheduled for Friday 31st January until Sunday 2nd
+February in Stonehaven near Aberdeen. If you are interested to meet
+the people behind Debian Med and want to join us in developing
+packages which are helpful in health care and bioinformatics you are
+invited to join us.

+
+<h2>DebConf 13 in Vaumarcus</h2>
+<p>
+Andreas Tille had two talks with specific influence to Debian Med
+development(<a
+href="http://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/20130812_blend">Debian Med
+as a success story for other Blends</a>, <a
+href="http://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/20130815_mom">How to
+attract new developers for your team (MoM, SoB)</a>. For those who
+want to read a full (and lengthy) report about DebConf 13 by Andreas
+Tille this is online <a
+href="http://debianmed.blogspot.de/2013/09/debconf-13-report-by-andreas-tille.html">in
+this blog article</a>.

+
+
+<h2>Codefest of the Open Bioinformatics Foundation</h2>
+<p>
+Ivo Maintz and Steffen Möller organised the <a
+href="http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Codefest_2013">Codefest of the Open
+Bioinformatics Foundation</a> in Berlin. About 40 contributors from
+all over the world attended, connecting the Debian community strongly
+with upstream. The event triggered a joint paper of participants to
+Sprints, Codefests and Hackathons alike, presented at the Nettab
+conference on <a href="http://www.nettab.org/2013/">Semantic, Social,
+and Mobile Applications for Bioinformatics and Biomedical
+Laboratories</a> in Venice.
+</p>
+
+
+<h2>Reupload unattended packages</h2>
+<p>
+Andreas Tille has mentored the <a
+href="https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2013/StudentApplications#Redesign_metapackage_creation_for_Debian_Blends">GSoC
+student Emmanouil Kiagias</a> and as a byproduct some Blends metadata
+were now kept in UDD. This has inspired some new tools and one of
+this was an <a
+href="http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=blends/website.git;a=blob;f=misc/sql/0-aging.sh">UDD
+query</a> to return all packages in the interest of the Blend ordered
+by date when they were uploaded. It has shown that there were
+packages hanging around in the package pool since five years. So some
+effort was done to check those packages which were not necessarily
+"buggy" according to BTS entries and so we were able to fix the
+following issues in about 20-30 packages:
+<ul>
+ <li>Remove DM-Upload-Allowed fields</li>
+ <li>hardening</li>
+ <li>canonical Vcs fields</li>
+ <li>checking homepages / watch files</li>
+ <li>checking policy 3.9.4 (cme fix dpkg-control)</li>
+ <li>profit from xz compression in binary packages which makes perfectly sense in some of our packages</li>
+ <li>DEP5</li>
+ <li>DEP3</li>
+ <li>use dh consequently to simplify things for team members / NMUers</li>
+ <li>finally upload several changes in VCS but remained UNRELEASED</li>
+ <li>found several other hidden issues like</li>
+</ul>
+Since it was impressive how many things that deserve fixing are hidden
+in such long unattended packages it is recommended also to other teams
+to spend some time into these. The UDD query can be easily tweaked
+for a team maintainer address.
